Game for WWI fans

[sixstrings5859]

Here's a sim for WWI that will play great on any computer. It's called FS-WWI. Fun to play and best of all it's free ! Here it is : http://www.fsww1.com/

I do believe that you need to install the game from here first:

Then the others are installed after it.

Is that not correct ???

There is a download from the site that requires no game cd to use or install. Install option 3 is where to download complete sim. It is free also. Regards,Scott

I actually had a very small hand in that, crossing the aisle from the WW2 side (upon request from the main developers) to skin a bird or two and tweak a little bit of the GUI! The FS-SDOE community was always one of the best.

You don't need the original game for the latter two install options (and they're easier).

While very quite these days, the community still exists at http://www.openplanesim.com/

Thanks, guys. I'll give it a shot.

It's really more than a game . It's a combat flight simulator that is a challenge to fly and fight in. Easy for most computers to play. I use Win 7 64 bit with no trouble to report.

But it did not have an campaign mode only a collection of missions, or is this being improved?

While we were able to improve FS-SDOE dramatically in a lot of ways, there was never any capacity for a dynamic campaign or a quick combat option. Development has effectively ended. We did what we could. Given that it was a contemporary of CFS1, keeping it alive and viable as long as we did was an achievement to be proud of, but we pretty much polished things off a few years ago, although if anything, the WW1 version does get some attention from time to time.
